Double click on a move and it will expand all children.

One line can have a single move, then it is easy to add comments. But when
one line (before any variation) contains 10 moves in a row, each having
annotations (worst case) this would lead to something hard to read.
Also note that it seems I encountered an all bug with the treeview widget,
where the X scrollbar does not work.

Not easy to do. I did not write the treeview widget myself and it has some
limitations. For example if a move has 2 markers, I only display the first
one I encounter. It could be worthwhile to reuse and modify slightly the
repertoire editor framework, but certainly some hard work.
